I posted this dilemma (#firstworldproblems) in my Insta story, but thought I would share it here too. We cleaned up Soul and Glow’s room (see before here) and now we are debating on whether or not to leave the rug, use sheepskin, or let the floors steal the show. Glow likes the rug, but Soul doesn’t, so that doesn’t help the decision much. I like the rug, but I think it makes things look a bit cluttered. The bare floors are pretty, but it looks like it’s missing something. Maybe it needs some texture? The sheepskin does seem to solve that problem, but is the room more cozy with a rug? I don’t know. What do you think?

I just realized the second photo showed the sheepskin, but I almost missed them… for some reason, I don’t like the look, maybe because they’re too small for the area. It looks kind of like you put bath mats next to the bed. I’d say keep the original rug but perhaps position it differently. Or – do you have something brighter? I imagine a pop of color matching a shade from the blankets. I think it looks cozy with the rug, definitely more minimal/simple without it… but I think it’s nice for kids to have something warm and inviting underfoot and when they’re reading/playing on the floor.

The rug makes the room look nice and cozy. The sheepskins look too small. But since only one girl likes the rug I would stick the rug only under her bed. No it is not ideal design, but comfort and function are more important in a kids room.

I love all the pieces but together I think the rug is too busy. Too many lines with the rug and the bed rails! Are your floors light gray or white? They are beautiful!
What about a large round rug?
Death Star? Jk.
Would a wall tapestry provide texture and leave the clean look, maybe? And how about some slippers by each bed instead of the little rugs… just ideas. Your style is my fave!

I like the look of the room with bare floors, but for little ones I’d probably choose the rug…because cozy…although my girls never really seem to mind laying on the bare floor and all their playmobil could stand up better on it. 🙂

I honestly feel like the bare floor looks best. I agree about the sheepskin looking too small and the rug looking too busy for the space. The floor is sooo gorgeous to cover up! Maybe a different smaller rug in between the beds would work? Good luck!! 🙂 P.S. I LOVE your blog. Always my favorite read. Thanks for being you!

I really like the look of the large rug, that goes from one bed to another. There are already so many small things all around, that the sheepskin could look something that has fallen from the bed. Plus that sheepskin never stays in place and always end-up under the bed or in a corner somewhere.
